A well-known mountain pass for cyclists from the PO, with a nice steady climb and a pretty view at the top - perfect for a recovery after the winter!

Some nice views. Sometimes stretches of 6 to 7 per cent. Sometimes fairly flat, chance to recuperate. Last 1.5 km is the toughest. Climbed at 35 degrees, which was even toughest. Descent via Castelnou was very nice.
